Chapter 021 – What a great big power player
Inside the Hearing Tide Pavilion, the Great Pillar State witnessed the two riders leaving the mansion, smiled and went back to the pavilion to sit across from the chief staffer, Li Yishan, and asked in a soft voice: “Brother Yuan Ying, do you think this bastard boy is cheating the Yan family’s little girl more, or is it saving the sixty-nine mouths of that nerd’s family of Yan Chi Ji Ji more?”
Li Yishan said flatly, “Both.”
Xu Snapdragon laughed: “Is the position of pastor of Lingzhou so unappreciated? The old boy Yan Jiexi is too much on paper, think with Wang Taibao relationship, even if the daughter lucky become a princess, will be able to escape from the palm of my hand? Can he hide at the foot of the Emperor and whine about me a few times to bring me down? You don’t think about who he owes his money to in Liangdi all these years. Without this gold and silver, how can he enlist Wang Taibao and call Han Diaoji in the palace his brother? This point, on the contrary, Li Gongde is much smarter, always still remember who is his real food and clothing parents. This kind of person, can only live for a long time.”
Li Yishan said in a calm voice: “Where are so many docile dogs and eagles to be driven by you, and occasionally a few crazy dogs jumping over the wall, which is not to your liking? If the world is peaceful every year in Liangdi, there is no military force on the border, there is no Yan Jiexi, these stupid so-called Qingliu loyalists, your position, is not it more difficult to sit? After half a lifetime are busy in the self-flagellation of their own body self-humiliation of their name hooks of the famous ministers and prime ministers, there are fewer? You are already very good, and still able to refuse the princess son-in-law, the world of literati scolded more than 20 years, has not poked your backbone, enough to be proud.”
Great Pillar State was lighthearted about this and did not make any comments.
Li Yishan slightly self-deprecating, “that kid fat powder gas faded, gangster is more sufficient.”
Not long after Xu Feng returned to the residence at the beginning of the year, he came upstairs to deliver wine, and was held in hand to talk about a few games, which resulted in Li Yishan being very angry.
Li Yishan for this Weiqi no matter how nineteen road how vertical and horizontal changes, is ultimately a static dead things, posing again big battle, are ghost array, not into the superior avenue, Li Yishan would not like, but Xu Fengyin childhood mischievous, can not be static, in order to nail this guy ass on the mat, looking for, only this sit hidden a way.
Li Yishan privately appreciate that kid with the innate memory of the superb, the two games, at first there are chess piers chess, and then coefficients withdrawn, just empty for the drop like, vertical and vertical nineteen, said beforehand that the drop of the root of the position, can not be repudiated, these years polished down, Li Yishan win nine lose one.
Unexpectedly this trip back to the tour, Xu Fengyen do not know where to learn from the endless layers of irrational hand tendons, the more the finale, the more cross-breeding chaotic fist to kill the effect of the teacher, Li Yishan solid lousy a couple of times, almost to take the wine pot to smash this nonsense a pass of the rabbit child.
Sitting on his knees Li Yishan slightly helpless, light laugh: “We listen to the tide of ten games, it seems to be four wins and four losses. This kid picked up martial arts as I had hoped, but beat me at chess.”
Xu Snap laughed, “Isn’t there still two games left, there’s no rush.”
Li Yishan lifted the pen, but hanging still, asked: “The priest of the Shangyin Palace to come to you to play chess?”
Xu Snap said, “No.”
Li Yishan sneered: “At the beginning of the nine countries as a chess piece, half the world as a chessboard, a great boldness, but also do not see them play a few wonderful chess, the eye of the high and low, sitting and discussing the road. By you a cut, what layout what chess momentum are gone.”
Xu Snapdragon said: “Wei Xiong is still studying over there, always have to give some face. Otherwise, you also know my temperament, scholarly spirit, and vast righteousness, these two, to me, are the most stinky.”
Li Yishan smiled without saying anything.
Xu Snapdragon suddenly asked, “Do you think Xuanwu dangxing or not dangxing?”
Li Yishan asked rhetorically, “Wang Chonglou is equal to practicing a Da Huangting Pass of Taoist hardship for nothing, aren’t you afraid that Wudang Mountain will turn against you?”
Xu Snapdragon laughed it off.
In the secluded small courtyard of the royal residence.
Xu Fengyen and Lao Kui sat cross-legged in the courtyard corridor together, slowly telling every detail of that killing in the snow. If the knife is not decisive enough, the knife speed is too fast and not enough power, or improperly responded to the waste of a little bit of energy, will be the old Kui to take the back of the knife a hard knock, the lesson is accompanied by a few concise comments.
Lao Kui is ultimately the use of the knife to the ultimate expert, even without being there, by Xu Fengyen said, and see with their own eyes is no different. Xu Fengyen do not want to that superior recipe, the old Kui also do not take the initiative to reveal the pressure box skills, an old man and a small with each other riddle in general, than who has better patience.
White-haired old Kui leaned against a vermilion lacquer pillar, asked with a smile: “Little child, since it is to retrieve the city head sword box, why don’t you learn the sword, isn’t it more refreshing? Besides, walking in the jianghu, young people do not love to wear a sword? A sword to the east and a sword to the west and so on, it sounds more dashing and powerful than using a sword, hehe, that word is called yangchun something, grandpa forgot for a moment.”
Xu Fengyen was sitting upright, embroidered winter across his lap, lightly laughed: “Yangchun white snow.”
“This cool land are shouting you Xu straw bag, wronged!” Old Kui slapped his thigh with one hand, one hand slapped on the shoulder of His Highness the World Son, the latter almost fell to the ground in a forward lunge, a shaking before he managed to stabilize his body.
Xu Fengyen laughed to himself, “Old Grandpa, your vision is really average, worse than the sword technique by a hundred thousand miles.”
The old kui smiled sparingly, “When grandpa I fight with that Wei Beishan who is playing the chopping saber, I will really have to leave this place, kid, have you thought about the path in the future?”
Xu Fengyen put his hand on the embroidered winter knife sheath, smiled bitterly, “What else can I do, first go to the pavilion to find a quick internal martial arts mind method, and then listen to heaven’s will. Really can’t, then the mess of various schools of martial arts are swallowed in one go and memorized, later on the battlefield against the enemy, always be able to take advantage of a small advantage. My root bone should be quite general, unlikely to be like the old grandpa this a force to subdue ten will. If I don’t use a little trick, when can I go to the Wudi City. By the way, back then, did Wang Xianzhi really pinch off the ‘Trojan Horse Bull’ of the older Sword God Li Chungang with both fingers?”
Old Kui nodded, his heart in his mouth. To the most outstanding martial artists in the world, the old monster Wang Xianzhi was always a mountain that had to be faced, so much so that not to mention defeating him, as long as they fought to a draw, they could securely be ranked amongst the top ten masters, which was a testament to the unrivaled toughness of that hundred year old man.
Xu Fengyen slowly got up, he had to get up early tomorrow.
Tonight, the future imperial concubine’s residence is probably already in a state of chicken and dog?
On the second day, there was an honored guest in the Beiliang King’s Mansion, a pedagogue from the Shangyin Academy, said to be second only to the Academy’s Grand Priest, one of the three priests. These three people are generally respected as Mr. Jik Shang, teaching is not the general scriptures and books, but the saints of the Great Dao.
Shangyin Palace of scholars from the north and south of the sky, regardless of geography, regardless of identity, not rich or poor, as long as the Palace of the triennial examination, can be enrolled in the school, to become a bachelor of Shangyin, these carp jump Dragon Gate students, also known as Jixian students.
Now the school palace priest qi yanglong is the dynasty master of the state, the status of transcendent, dragon see the head and tail, visiting priest, the world only know the name of the king, in the upper Yin school palace specializing in teaching vertical and horizontal arts and king of the strategy, once in the world’s famous two big debate in the first victory and then lost, won the debate of the name of the real, but lost the heavenly and human, and from then on, fewer appearances.
Accepting harsh disciples, nearly ten years only accepted the second daughter of the human butcher Xu Snapdragon Xu Weixiong as a student, but also let it be said that this will be his closed disciple, the mantle can be passed on, this life is enough.
Xu Fengyen in the few letters with his second sister Xu Weixiong, vaguely learned that this Mr. Jixiang is a chess fanatic, loves to watch chess and talk a lot. As for the depth of knowledge, Xu Fengyen does not doubt, since he can be the second sister’s master, and then poor can not be worse.
A game of chess was set up under the White Crane Building.
Righteous son Yuan Zuozong stood in the distance, leaving only the great pillar state Xu Snapu and Mr. Jishang, who came from afar, to talk with their hands and have fun.
Xu Fengnian climbed to the top of the hill and only saw Mr. Wang’s profile, emaciated in appearance, a plain green shirt, a pair of hemp shoes, and a sheep’s fat jade pendant tied around his waist.
With Xu Snap on the chessboard, a picture of a confident demeanor, the style can not be said to be not elegant, the momentum can not be said to be not out of the world.
His Royal Highness thought that the priest of the Shangyin Palace is really deep, unusual high people again high, see Xu Snapdragon is not the same atmosphere dare not breathe? Where can this person’s calm and relaxed.
The world outside the high person, but so.
Xu Fengnian restrained his mind and approached respectfully, Dazhu Guo and Mr. Jishang were both concentrating on their game, the battle on the chessboard was in full swing, neither of them looked up.
Xu Fengyen, who was in awe, almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he fixed his eyes on them.
The national players who are familiar with the 19 ways of vertical and horizontal, or the sea huge immersion, implicit and far-reaching, condescending. Or fine and clever, profound and rigorous, killing at every step.
But these two?
Xu Snapdragon is a first class stinky chess basket, Xu Fengnian natural clear, at first saw the two game, but also thought it was Mr. Wang in the great elegance of Xu Snapdragon’s great vulgarity, did not want …… to his mother, this game of chess how to see how like a mess of hemp ah! As two children in the mud rolling fight, and the realm of the state player is absolutely not half a copper plate relationship.
From the looks of it, this Mr. Jixiang’s chess power is simply no match for Xu Snapdragon’s, so no wonder it’s so hard to tell the difference.
The most unacceptable thing to Xu Fengnian is that this Mr. Wang thought he had made a strong move, and he had to match it with a self-identified comment, such as “don’t go to the waste of chess, don’t bump into the gas, go to the right place to go to the big chess, do the big dragon to slay the big dragon”, “the chess meets with the difficulty of the small tip, the table bishop rooted in the point of the winning bracket, hey, but I am biased not to point, this bracket, it’s wonderful, can be the top of the world, but I don’t know. This is a wonderful move that can lead to immortality.”
Xu Fengyen stared wide-eyed, but he couldn’t see the beauty of the game, he only saw a constant stream of bad moves, which was disastrous to see.
Mr. Jixiang stared at the 50/50 situation, smugly said: “The three schools of chess, a total of eighteen players, only Zhao Dingan, Chen Xipin can’t be defeated, the rest of them can compete.”
Xu Fengnian’s face couldn’t help but twitch a bit.
Xu Snap’s face was expressionless, flicked his hand and refused to make a move.
Mr. Jixiang took the time to finally look up and said with a kindly expression, “Your Highness, do you think this light son of Dazhu Guo should be discarded or not?”
Xu Fengnian slowed his breathing and said with a smile, “It’s hard to say, Mr. Jishang’s layout is meticulous and far-reaching, I think White will most likely lose.”
Unexpectedly, in a fit of anger, Xu Snapdragon was forced to play a good game by mistake, Mr. Jixiang finally felt the crisis, but instead of responding calmly, he immediately reached out and lifted up Xu Snapdragon’s stone, smiling cheekily, “Dazhuguo, please allow me to regret a move.”
Xu Snapdragon seemed to be accustomed to it, and nudged his mouth, signaling the priest in front of him to do it himself.
Xu Fengnian was a bit dumbfounded.
This game ended up with Mr. Jixiang regretting his moves more than ten times before winning a hard and narrow victory, Xu Fengyen no longer had any reverence or longing for the Shangyin Academy after watching this.
Mr. Wang patted his butt and got up, refreshed and said, “I have played countless games in my life, and to this day, I still have not lost a single game.”
Xu Fengyen accompanied with a smile and said, “Mr. Jishang is the premier great power player.”
After the game, the great power player took his leave and went down the mountain, when he was not playing chess, his demeanor really could not be faulted, a complete immortal style.
Xu Fengnian stood frozen, murmuring, “What’s with the undefeated?”
Xu Snapdragon laughed and scolded, “Never lost a game, that’s true. But it’s because he only plays against those who are less skilled than him, and those who are not sure, he wisely stays on the sidelines.”
Xu Fengnian said bitterly, “Second sister learns the art of warping and weft from such a Mr. Jixiang?”
Xu Snapdragon got up, looked towards the foot of the mountain and laughed softly, “Being able to be undefeated, isn’t he still a national player?”
